The accompanying guards also found out, but by the time they reacted, it was too late. Before the knife was unsheathed, there was already an extra line of blood on the neck.

Several black-clad assassins flew up from behind the people, engaged the remaining guards.

When the people saw what had happened, they were in chaos.

The screams and cries were incessant, and the people fled in all directions like headless flies, completely dispersing the Empress's guard of honor.

Liang Yuyan suddenly became alert, and while carefully protecting Luo Qingluan and Changyi to protect them from being accidentally injured by the panicked people, she scolded: "What kind of dog things are these?" Specially picking a good festival to start, it really spoils the interest of this girl! ”

Luo Qingluan had been secretly observing the situation of the empress, and suddenly he saw two black-clothed people taking advantage of the chaos to fly onto the empress's sedan chair, and the four women on the sedan chair were also martial arts, and they were entangled with the two black-clothed men.

Seeing that the four women were defeated by the man in black, they were about to be defeated. Luo Qingluan was anxious, pulled the cold sleeve next to him and said in a deep voice: "It's not good, the empress is in danger!" Leng Li, go and save her! ”

Leng Li nodded, and immediately flew up.

The battle on the chariot has reached a white-hot stage, and the woman is gradually defeated. The guards below were pestered by the assassins and scattered by the people, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, and they could not go up to the sedan chair to support the four women.

The sharp moves of the four women had gradually begun to weaken. The Assassin was free, and with his dagger in hand, he lunged at the Empress.

As the empress of Tianxia Kingdom, she is naturally not a character to bully. She was holding her sword, staring at the assassin in front of her. When she saw the Assassin coming at her, she immediately swung her sword at the Assassin.

It's just that the empress didn't have the foundation to practice martial arts, and she was stabbed twice in the body between breathing and breathing.

Leng Li arrived and stabbed the Assassin from behind with a sword that was about to deliver the final blow to the Empress.

The empress had lost too much blood, and her consciousness had begun to blur a little, and when she saw someone coming to save her, she immediately grabbed the person and fainted completely.

Leng Li, who was suddenly embraced, was a little unaccustomed to it, so he had to hold the empress with one hand, and hold the dagger with the sword in the other, and kick the other assassin down.

Seeing that the assassin on the chariot had not succeeded, the Assassins knew that their plan had failed, and they did not stop at the moment. With a false move, just like when he came, he disappeared into the chaotic crowd, making it impossible to find a trace.

Leng Li saw that the empress had fainted, so he took the empress and stepped on the light gong and returned to Luo Qingluan's side.

Luo Qingluan saw that the empress in Leng Li's arms was seriously injured, and hurriedly greeted Leng Li and said, "Quick, put her down, she is seriously injured and needs to stop the bleeding immediately." ”

Leng Li's face was embarrassed, but he didn't know what to say, so he simply opened his arms. I saw that the empress was still clutching Leng Li's clothes, lying firmly in Leng Li's arms, and she didn't want to let go at all.

Luo Qingluan had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, we are here to save you, you are a little seriously injured now, I want to stop the bleeding for you, can you let go of my companion first?" ”

The empress didn't hear it, and she didn't move.

Leng Li said: "Dizzy." ”

"Her wound is in the abdomen, she keeps clutching you so much, I can't treat her wound for me." Luo Qingluan was a little embarrassed.

Leng Li listened, reached out through the fabric of his sleeve and tried to break the empress's hand. Unexpectedly, the empress's hand became tighter and tighter, and he couldn't break people's hands, so he could only look at Luo Qingluan with a face.

Luo Qingluan shook his head helplessly, and looked into the distance: "Okay, the honor guard seems to have finished handling the matter, let's send the empress over to them." ”

Leng Li listened, so he had to accept his fate and pick up the empress again and walk in the direction of the honor guard.

As soon as they approached the honor guard, the guards of the honor guard immediately nervously raised the swords in their hands and pointed at Luo Qingluan and the others: "Stop!" Put the Empress down, who are you! ”

Luo Qingluan reluctantly raised his hand and took two steps forward: "Don't get me wrong, it was we who saved Her Majesty, but Her Majesty the Empress is seriously injured now, and she is holding my companion and refuses to let go, so I really can't let go." ”

The guard stepped forward to take a look, and when he saw that the empress was really as Luo Qingluan said, his attitude immediately became respectful: "It turned out to be a benefactor, disrespectful." In that case, I would like to take a few of us with us and escort the Empress back to the palace. ”

Luo Qingluan sighed, patted Leng Li's shoulder, who was still stinking, and said, "Help people to the end, let's go." ”

Because the empress threw Leng Li's hand tightly after being injured and refused to relax for half a minute, everyone couldn't do it, so they could only send the two of them to the empress's bedroom together. Luo Qingluan and the others followed to the palace and waited patiently outside the palace.

Luo Qingluan was worried about the cold departure of his peers, so he recommended himself to Mao Sui, a female official of Tianxia Kingdom: "It just so happens that I know some medical skills, can you let me in to heal your empress?" ”

Glancing at her, the female official politely rejected Luo Qingluan: "I have superb medical skills in Tianxia Guotai, so I don't need to bother you for the time being, please wait in the hall with peace of mind." ”

After touching a stick of incense, Leng Li came out of the palace. Everyone stepped forward and asked the Empress about her injuries.

"Leng Li, has the empress's blood stopped?" Luo Qingluan was the first to ask.

"Stopped, the imperial physician of Tianxia Kingdom was very skilled, not only stopped the bleeding, but also woke up the empress who was in a coma due to excessive blood loss on the way back, and it was okay for the time being." Leng Li, tell the truth.

Hearing this, everyone was relieved.

Only Liang Yuyan muttered quietly on the side: "This empress, the first time I saw Leng Li, I grabbed his hand and didn't let go." People are faint, but their hands still have to be clenched tightly, she won't take a fancy to you, right? ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Leng Li hurriedly stopped Liang Yuyan, "If you are a dignified empress, how can you look down on us and others?" You're too careful. ”

"That's it," Luo Qingluan also said: "Yuyan, this day, the women of the Xia Kingdom have a high status and open folk customs, and people may think that holding hands is nothing." ”

Everyone didn't care, when Liang Yuyan was joking, and then talked about the customs and customs of this Tianxia Kingdom that were very different from other places. Only Liang Yuyan continued to mumble unwillingly on the side, still stubbornly believing that the empress had good intentions for Leng Parting.

"Okay Yuyan," Luo Qingluan said with a smile, "Now it is imperative that we find a good horse from the Tianxia Kingdom so that we can continue our journey." We're heading to Dongwan now, so let's put aside your unfounded speculation for the time being. ”

While everyone was talking, a female official came to report: "The Empress is grateful to you for not being afraid of the help of the Assassins, and I would like to hold a banquet for you tonight, and I hope that you will stay for a few more days, so that the subjects may know that my Empress is not ungrateful." ”

Luo Qingluan and the others saw that the female official was sincere and wanted to take this opportunity to solve the matter of the horses, so they agreed to accept the invitation.

"Everyone, please come with me, and rest for a while, for the dinner begins tonight. When you first arrived in my Tianxia country, I have arranged for your subordinates to bathe and change your clothes, and sweep away the boats and horses. The female officer then led the group to rest elsewhere.

Out of the dormitory, passing by the Imperial Garden, everyone chatted while enjoying the pleasant scenery of the garden, and it happened that there was a stable not far away, Luo Qingluan's one-and-a-half-year-old son Nalan Changyi pulled Luo Qingluan's hand and shouted inarticulately: "Horse, horse...... Mother, look. He seemed to signal Luo Qingluan to look at the horses in the stable.

Everyone laughed, and Mu Xiaoyu bent over with a smile, "Sister Luo, Changyi still knows Da Ma!" ”

Luo Qingluan smiled and narrowed his eyes, bent down and picked up his son, who was just able to walk and stagger, "Changyi may let us watch the horses, right?" ”

"This day, Xia Guo is really rich in good horses, you see, this horse is fat and strong, with smooth body hair, and it looks like they are carefully taken care of." Leng Li pointed out to everyone.

Luo Qingluan and the others went according to their reputation, Qingluan took a fancy to a horse with four hooves as white as snow, but the whole body was covered with a pure black mane, and a circle of white hair was wrapped around the neck, like a horse with a white scarf. At this time, he was neighing and raising his hooves in the stable, as if he could not wait to gallop out of the stable.

"It's beautiful!" Liang Yuyan thought to herself, "I wonder if the empress will agree if I ask the empress for this good horse." ”

At this time, the female official who led the way spoke up on the side: "Your Excellency really has a vision, our Tianxia Kingdom is famous for its abundance of good horses, you saved the life of our empress, maybe she will give you a few good horses as a gift of gratitude." ”

Mu Xiaoyu shouted indifferently on the side: "Then we want that black horse with four hooves and snow walking." ”

When the female official heard this, she smiled slightly: "This distinguished guest, that is our empress's special mount, usually cherishes it very much, even if you save the empress's life, she may not be willing to give it to you." ”

"It turned out to be the Empress's favorite horse, no wonder it was so outstanding." Liang Yuyan thought to herself and explained to the female officer: "Xiaoyu is still young and doesn't know how important it is. How can we open our mouths to ask for the Empress's foal, to win the love of others? ”

Mu Xiaoyu also silenced on the side, not daring to say any more.

The female officer smiled and said, "You and my empress have never known each other, and you met on the way to help, so you should thank you for a few other good horses." ”

Everyone chatted all the way, arrived at the resting place, bathed and changed clothes, and took a break to wait for the dinner.

When the lights were bright and bright, a female official came to report: "Everyone, please come with me." ”

Changyi had already taken a nap, and at this time, Luo Qingluan grabbed his little hand and staggered to follow everyone, while looking around curiously with clear and ignorant eyes.

The rest of the people rested, and followed the female officer through the winding corridor to the banquet hall.

The banquet was very lively, and when I saw that the host was thinking about it, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra was endless. The banquet was staggered, and the guests chatted happily and enjoyed themselves. The empress even sent someone to specially prepare the unique women's clothing and archery dance of Tianxia Kingdom, which amazed everyone and praised them.

During the banquet, Luo Qingluan raised a glass to thank the Empress for the banquet, "Thank the Empress for inviting us, I should toast you." ”

The empress was bold, and immediately drank it all and raised her glass to show her respect for Luo Qingluan and others.

Luo Qingluan continued: "I have long heard that the customs and customs of Tianxia Country are different from other places, and when we meet today, sure enough, the whole country is not allowed to shave their eyebrows. Women are brave and bold, even more than men, it seems that the rumors are true. ”

The empress raised her head and laughed, her noble and beautiful face was ruddy and even more gorgeous because she was slightly drunk from drinking: "What Miss Luo said is extremely true, the women of my Tianxia Kingdom are not only beautiful in appearance. And he is brave and good at fighting, where can ordinary men compare? ”

"The women of Tianxia Kingdom are really heroes among women, and they are rarely seen elsewhere." Liang Yuyan also sighed.

The empress seemed to be drunk, her face turned to the side, looked at Luo Qingluan and the others, and smiled slightly: "I won't hide it from you, in fact, Tianxia Kingdom was the same as other countries before." Men are respected, women are at home textile embroidery, diligent in family chores, long in the boudoir, rarely go out. ”

"Oh?" Mu Xiaoyu was curious: "How did that become today's Tianxia Kingdom, which respects women?" ”
